L’entrée aux études collégiales n’est pas synonyme d’intégration et de réussite pour tous. Le présent article porte sur une population étudiante fragilisée, inscrite dans un dispositif de transition au cégep (la session d’accueil et d’intégration – SAI), pour qui la persévérance aux études est incertaine. Deux cohortes étudiantes (2009, n = 977 et 2010, n = 966) ont été suivies du secondaire jusqu’à dix-huit mois après leur entrée au cégep. L’enquête a permis de cerner la morphologie de parcours étudiants débutant par la SAI, en soulignant les difficultés particulières, mais aussi leur atténuation au fil du temps pour une certaine partie de cette population étudiante.In Quebec accessing higher education through CEGEP (preuniversity and vocational college) doesn’t necessarily imply integration and achievement for all students. This paper examines a vulnerable student population, enrolled in a CEGEP transition program (orientation and integration session, known by its French acronym, SAI), whose persistence is uncertain. Two student cohorts (2009, n = 977 and 2010, n = 966) were followed from high school until 18 months after they entered CEGEP through the SAI. The survey helped to determine the morphology of the various learning and educational pathways of students who began with the SAI, while highlighting specific problems as well as their lessening over time for a part of this student population
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
